There was this one mom and pop burger joint that had the simplest, most basic, super greasiest burgers but to this day they were the best burgers I’ve ever tasted. The place was tucked away in an alley and it was one of those “you have to be a local to even know this exists” places.

Also, having moved from a smaller town to a bigger city, I miss how close everything and everyone was. You wanted to go see someone, or go do something, it was always just a walk away instead of having to deal with all the hullabaloo of traffic and bus lines and yada yada.

    Moved from a mega metropolis and got shuffled around a lot

    Might be an oddity here but… I basically missed nothing. I grew up pretty sheltered, and on top of that my hometown didn’t really have much going for it despite its size. Probably the only redeeming quality is the high-quality public transit… which isn’t remotely as good as it seems if you actually live there

    I think now that I’ve grown up & have more defined interests, my hometown is starting to feel a bit more exciting since there are all kinds of hobby groups & such… But still feels mostly soulless to me IMO
